Crossover Specifications

Built-in Crossover

A crossover is a type of filtering system that permits only certain frequencies to play. A Low-Pass (LP) crossover allows only frequencies below its setting to get through which is good in the case of some subwoofers. A High-Pass(HP) filter allows frequencies above its setting to pass through, this is normally used on speakers.

When a crossover is set to FULL it means no filtering is added and the full frequency spectrum is allowed through the amplifier. Filtering is important because feeding a speaker frequencies it cannot reproduce effectively creates distortion.

Low-pass (LP)High-pass (HP)

High-Pass Crossover Frequency

The high-pass crossover frequency can be a fixed crossover point or a variable crossover range. A variable high-pass crossover allows you to select a specific crossover point which allows frequencies above the set crossover point to pass, while making frequencies below the set point gently or harshly roll-off, depending on the steepness of the slope.

The steepness of the roll-off slope is measured in dB/octave and refers to the rate of attenuation (lowering of volume) outside their pass bands.

50 - 1,500 Hz

Low-Pass Crossover Frequency

The low-pass crossover frequency is typically used for subwoofers. It can be a fixed crossover point or a variable crossover range. A variable low-pass crossover allows you to select a specific crossover point which allows frequencies below the set crossover point to pass, while making frequencies above the set point gently or harshly roll-off, depending on the steepness of the slope.

The steepness of the roll-off slope is measured in dB/octave and refers to the rate of attenuation (lowering of volume) outside their pass bands.

50 - 120 Hz

Equalizer Bands

The number of graphic or parametric equalizer bands the receiver has. The better the EQ, the more likely you will be able to "tweak" your sounds to your desire.

Built-in Bass Reconstruction

Bass reconstructors, or bass enhancers, improve low frequency reproduction in a car audio system with at least one subwoofer. These bass expander products will help your subs produce accurate bass thumps.

No

Line Driver

A line driver is a small amplifier used to support the strength of the audio signal coming from the source unit.

No

Equalizer Frequencies

The frequency range that allows control of the center frequency of each equalization band.

50 - 1,500 Hz

this crossover is ok. it doesn't have any midrange which I needed so people who just want highs and lows this is perfect for that. I would recommend this crossover due to design and ease of use, looks great.

This is a great cross over by power acoustik, very good control over the music, no engine noise like most cross overs give, and pretty much a great addition to your car audio sound system. And most importantly, for a very good price. Thanks Sonic Electronix.
